Overview: Explore the exciting possibilities of watercolour and mixed media in this friendly, beginner-friendly class, where experimentation, creativity and self-expression take centre stage.
Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or simply looking to try something new, this relaxed and supportive class will introduce you to a range of watercolour techniques and show you how to build beautiful, layered artwork using a variety of materials. We’ll explore washes, blending, colour mixing and mark-making before discovering how to combine watercolour with mixed media such as ink pens, gold pens, metal leaf and crayons. You’ll learn how to layer different materials, create interesting textures, add fine details and introduce shimmering metallic touches to bring your artwork to life. Through guided exercises and playful experimentation, you’ll be encouraged to try different approaches, discover unexpected effects and develop your own creative style. There’s no need for previous experience or to worry about getting things perfect — this class is all about enjoying the process and seeing where your imagination takes you.
